Apparently the guys over at the Infinity Ward studios heard that the internet was up in arms (and we even knew what day it was too) over the news that the Call of Duty 4 Variety DLC might be delayed by a week. In response to the internet craziness, their resident community guy, IAMfourzerotwo, took cahrge and implied directly that the whole thing really was an April Fools day joke and that we can all expect to be seeing the maps go live on the night of the 3rd or early in the morning on the 4th. Despite what any "official sources" might have to say about it, IAMfourtzerotwo notes that the news also goes for those players who had any kind of redemption code (GOTY buyers, etc). Fourtzerotwo mentions as well that the GOTY website will soon be changed to dispel any remaining confusion. Good news all around, and looks like we'll be playing new maps before the weekend gets here!COD4 DLC confirmed to hit April 3rd/4th

I was debating between these or the halomaps, but Lockout and sidewinder are too good to pass up. So hopefully they become free, that would be nice.

Not a very humorous April Fools joke... I mean, retro xboxes, xbox helms, Dreamcast port, and then... CoD maps delayed a week...
Oh well

It wasn't an April Fools' joke. Activision messed up.

Says nothing about it being a joke. And the GOTY site still hasn't been updated, even though it's now available in stores. I wonder if 402 really knows what is going on here. Ultimately Activision/Microsoft control the release date... not IW.

Worst April Fool's joke ever. It's not even funny. Idiots...great way to confuse thousands of people so there are less downloads and purchases of your additional content.

Yeah I agree. NOT funny.
I know people that changed schedules around last night due to this and now, they're screwed.

Wouldn't know... Gotta pay the bills. Can't sit home and play video games all day. If I seem bitter, it's because I'm jealous.

@SugarDaddy: You do sound bitter but have you ever considered that not everyone works the same schedule or might be on a different time zone?

I guess I can justify paying $10 for more maps considering I only paid $40 for this game to begin with. Now only if they'll remove the lamest aspect of this game -- martyrdom: when some asshole drops a grenade after I shoot him in the face. So lame.

Eventually you'll get into the habit of moving away from this dead bodies you just plugged in the face. I say let them keep martydom as it's just a waste of a perk slot that will rarely ever kill you when you learn to treat every fresh kill as a potential 3 second threat.
